A man with a gunshot wound turned up at a Berkeley hospital seeking treatment over the weekend, authorities report.

[Alta Bates](https://www.sutterhealth.org/find-location/facility/alta-bates-summit-medical-center-alta-bates-campus-1043246519?ref=berkeleyscanner.com) hospital staff called [Berkeley police](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/berkeley-police-department/) Saturday evening when the man arrived with a gunshot wound to the foot, authorities said.

The man, a Berkeley resident in his 30s, said he'd been [shot at San Pablo Park](https://berkeleycrime.com/i/id/32219ba8-aecd-435d-a92c-e6be11702524?ref=berkeleyscanner.com) in southwest Berkeley at about 6:30 p.m., police said.

But officers were unable to locate a shooting scene, and no one else reported gunfire in the area.

The investigation is ongoing.

As of Sunday, Berkeley and UC police had investigated [two other injury shootings](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/shootings/) and six non-injury shootings this year.

There had been eight non-injury shootings and no injury shootings in Berkeley at this time last year, aside from a [non-fatal police shooting](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/ricardo-ruiz/).
